HOW DOES IT WORK?

In every MSM 400, the specially developed motor-driven stage and integrated micromanipulator are controlled with each hand in a comfortable position. The micromanipulator controls the needle, while the joystick controls all the basic functionality of the MSM 400. Users can work “head-down” using the binocular eyepieces or dissect from the video image on the screen when a camera is attached.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

The MSM 400 allows users with little to no experience to successfully dissect tetrads and cells in a user-defined grid. In addition, it allows users to do mother/daughter separation (ageing studies) and automatically count discards for each position. Screening and imaging interesting cells at user-defined positions can also be made at the click of a button.

WHAT CAN I USE IT FOR?

Ascospore dissection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and other ascospore-producing species
Ageing protocols to study and record the replicative lifespan of mother cells
Screening protocols for documenting and revisiting cells of interest
Image-capture, storage and export

WHAT IS IT?

A computer-driven, motorised-stage-controlled workstation for manipulating yeast and fungal spores, the MSM System 400 is undeniably the most powerful tetrad dissection workstation in the World. Using a big touch-screen computer and ergonomically designed joystick and manipulator, even inexperienced users can quickly and intuitively pick and place individual cells. The built-in software contains useful protocols that automate many of the repetitive aspects in dissection, ageing, and screening studies.
